Inventor: HOPWOOD ROBERT TIMOTHY
IPC: B65B35/34
Filed: 1989-01-13
Abstract: This invention relates to apparatus for aligning groups of plates and separators in a group for use in an accumulator battery and can more broadly relate to general alignment apparatus. 
     In one construction the alignment apparatus (19) has a table (20) which is mounted on a frame, which can be lifted by an hydraulic ram (21) and vibrated by a vertically acting low frequency vibrator (22) and a cyclically horizontally acting vibrator (23). A head (24) is provided with lug aligning walls, (25, 26) which align the plates (31), whilst walls (17 and 18) provide lateral alignment of the separators (30). Weights (27 and 27A) act on top of the plates (31) and separators (30) respectively to provide vertical alignment. The combined vibrations produced by the vibrators (22, 23) free the plates and separators to allow these alignments to occur.

Abstract: A blade is comprised of a plurality of a family of airfoil sections (23, 29, 39, 57, 85, 136, 206), each section being characterized by a large leading edge radii, a camber having an apogee at approximately 45% of the airfoil section chord length and relatively blunt trailing edge. The airfoil sections taper in thickness ratio (h/b) from about 20% near the blade root (20), to about 2% near the blade tip (15). 
     The maximum thickness for each airfoil section increases along the chord length from about 39% of the airfoil section for a 20% airfoil section to about 42% of the airfoil section chord length of a 20/o airfoil section. As such, the novel blade of the invention provides superior aerodynamic performance to the NACA Series 16 airfoil in the Mach 0.50 to 0.70 range with less susceptibility to foreign object damage and handling problems.

Abstract: An addressable cache memory stores a plurality of lines of data from the main memory, and a tag memory (typically a part of the cache memory) stores a corresponding plurality of real addresses associated with each line of data. A cache accessing unit receives a virtual address from a CPU. The virtual address comprises a real address portion and a virtual address portion, and the virtual address portion includes a virtual page and segment address. On each cache access, the cache accessing unit initially addresses the cache memory by concatenating the real address portion of the virtual address with an algorithmically determined first real address (i.e., a real page address). A translation memory translates the virtual address portion of the virtual address into a second real address as the cache memory is being accessed. A comparator compares the second real address with the first real address, and the data is retrieved from the cache memory when the first real address matches the second real address. All subsequent cache accesses are made using a combined address formed by concatenating the real address portion of the current virtual address to the previously translated real page address.

Abstract: Apart from receiving the radio alarm identification, which is only sent out in an emergency case, this device is also set up for receiving two other identifications, namely in the radio alarm transmitter identification and an alarm area identification. 
<??>If, for example, a transmitter set changes its alarm area identification, one or several search runs for other transmitters, which radiate the predetermined alarm area identification, is started once the hold time of a timer has elapsed. 
<??>If a predetermined number of search runs have remained unsuccessful, the receiver is temporarily switched to receiving any other transmitter transmitting a radio alarm identification to verify the readiness for reception. 
<??>If it is not possible to find such transmitters, either, a receiver fault is indicated after a further number of unsuccessful search runs.

Abstract: An optical drop-and-insert apparatus which can process an optical signal in the form of an optical signal without converting the optical signal into an electric signal. The optical drop-and-insert apparatus expands the pulse width of an optical data pulse in an optical data pulse train on an optical highway (1) and drops the optical data pulse to form an empty bit at the bit of the optical data pulse or another bit so that a new optical data pulse may be inserted into the empty bit. Miniaturization of the apparatus and increase in processing speed can be attained by enabling processing of an optical signal while it remains in the form of an optical signal.
